Lyrics
[Verse 1] I found your letter in the kitchen drawer Folded where the old bills used to lie Your handwriting still leans toward the door Like you were halfway out when you said goodbye I drove past Miller’s field at sunset Past the church with the broken bell Every mile had something to remind me Of the life I couldn't make you sell [Chorus] If you come back, don’t bring an apology Bring the truth and leave the past outside I’ve got one good room in this heart of mine And I never learned to lock it from your side [Verse 2] The porch swing hangs by a single chain now One blue cushion bleached by the sun Your coffee cup is cracked along the handle But I still reach for it when morning comes I hear your name in the cottonwood branches I see your face in the rain on the glass Some things leave without making a sound, dear Some things stay long after they pass [Chorus] If you come back, don’t bring an apology Bring the truth and leave the past outside I’ve got one good room in this heart of mine And I never learned to lock it from your side [Bridge] I was proud when I should have been tender I was silent when you needed my voice Now the road runs straight through the winter And I’m still waiting on the right choice [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] If you come back, don’t bring an apology Bring your hand and let me hold it tight I’ve got one good room in this heart of mine And I’ve kept the lamp on every night If you come back, we can start with the weather Start with coffee, start with anything I’ve got one good room in this heart of mine Come home and hear the old screen door sing [Outro] Come home, darling Come home tonight
